The Golden Gate Bridge got open to traffic on May 28, 1943.
No, the Golden Gate Bridge was not destroyed in the 1906 earthquake because it had not yet been built. Construction of the bridge began in 1933 and was completed in 1937, long after the earthquake occurred. The bridge is often associated with the earthquake's impact on San Francisco, but it was not affected since it did not exist at that time.

The Golden Gate Bridge is painted red, but called Golden because of the sun. Its steel cables are long enough to circle the Earth three times! If the US Navy had its way, the bridge might have been painted in black and yellow strips, for ships to see it clearly. Over 1,200 suicides have occurred from jumping off the bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge is the most photographed bridge in the entire world.

I've been trying to find out the answer to this question, too.
No. That distinction belongs to the Bang Na Expressway, which is 33.5 miles long over a city. The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, which is 23.87 miles long, is the longest bridge over water. The Golden Gate Bridge is only 1.7 miles long.
They paint it every month so that the bridge doesnt collapse. It hasn't been painted for three months though so please be aware.
The Golden Gate Bridge did not fall or fail in any respect. However, the nearby Bay Bridge lost part of its upper deck during the Loma Prieta Earthquake on October 17, 1989. Since then, additional damage has occurred to the Bay Bridge during construction for the earthquake retrofit.
